“No matter how much you run, or fly or swim, you come back to the land. It’s like as if whatever mud is made up of, it is all beautifully transformed from the seeds that die to begin in the roots, from the roots that expand to grow into a trunk, from a trunk that stretches into branches and from branches that sprout leaves which birth stories before returning to honor the soil once again—just like your body will one day rest for a time in the garden of the Earth—knowing that there will be more stories by others who will follow set paths to find their own.”

“I have found a higher calling; inspirational-writing! I can’t imagine myself doing any other work, when I ought to write and transmit, awe-inspiring-words, to the souls longing for it.”

“Das Wahrscheinliche (dass bei 6 000 000 000 Würfen mit einem regelmäßigen Sechserwürfel annähernd 1 000 000 000 Einser vorkommen) und das Unwahrscheinliche (dass bei 6 Würfen mit demselben Würfel einmal 6 Einser vorkommen) unterscheiden sich nicht dem Wesen nach, sondern nur Häufigkeit nach, wobei das Häufigere von vornherein als glaubwürdiger erscheint. Es ist aber, wenn einmal das Unwahrscheinliche eintritt, nichts Höheres dabei, keinerlei Wunder oder Derartiges, wie es der Laie so gerne haben möchte. Indem wir vom Wahrscheinlichen sprechen, ist ja das Unwahrscheinliche immer schon inbegriffen und zwar als Grenzfall des Möglichen, und wenn es einmal eintritt, das Unwahrscheinliche, so besteht für unsereinen keinerlei Grund zur Verwunderung, zur Erschütterung, zur Mystifikation.”
